This is most probably about the 30th time I have seen them but it has been about 26 years since the last time.

Not quite sure what kind of crowd there will be, not sure if I am looking forward to it.

Not seen them since the 80s but I've heard it's still a great show. At least it's not one of those reunion shows, they've never stopped since 76.

Well, all my mates from ahem, back in the day, will be going to this next month - http://www.punkbythesea.co.uk/#/home/4546608450

I'm sure it'll be fun, but it's not for me.

Every Damned gig ive been to has been good im sure your have a good time , the only band ive seen more than the Damned is the Stranglers and both bands all though not as good as they were in the late 70,s are still worth going to see.

If we had had a daughter it's what we agreed we would call her:

Listening to it now and it doesn't sound at all dated.

Tazzy couldnt agree more.

They were great and Vanian can really sing these days. Hilights for me Lively Arts, Antipope, New Rose and of course Love Song. Plan 9 was good and all in all a great night.

Is Captain Sensible still playing? I saw them about 15 years ago and everyone in the crowd just sang 'happy talk' between every song 🙂

But I am going to see Black Sabbath tonight in a one-off warm up in front of just 3000 people.

In. Your. Face.

Yes Captain and Vanian are the last two original members, Captain was taking the piss out of himself saying I was a popstar in the 80's etc
Paul Gray did an encore and Bryn Merrick was wandering around in the crowd (both ex bass players)

Sabbath will be interesting let us know how that goes.

It was amazing- they seemed to be really enjoying it and Ozzy was grinning like a loon all night. Ended up right at the front (first time I have done that in years). Also a great atmosphere around the venue before and afterwards.
